The Milwaukee Bucks have requested waivers on forwards Johnny O'Bryant and Damien Inglis, a league source confirmed Wednesday.

The moves should give the Bucks some room to add players in free agency, which opens late Thursday night (Central time).

O'Bryant was a second-round pick in the 2014 draft (36th overall) and played the past two seasons with the Bucks. The 6-foot-9 forward from LSU averaged 3 points and 2.4 rebounds in 100 NBA games, including 19 starts.

Inglis was the first pick of the second round (31st overall) in the 2014 draft. The 6-8 forward from French Guiana missed all of the 2014-'15 season due to a broken right ankle. He had a second surgery on the ankle in January 2015 after the iniital surgery did not heal properly.

Inglis appeared in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas in 2015 but still was somewhat hobbled.

He played in 20 games with the Bucks last season, including one start, and averaged 1.8 points and 1.6 rebounds. He also was sent to the NBA Development League for a pair of stints, playing 13 games with the Westchester Knicks and three with the Canton Charge.

The moves help clear some roster space for changes in the Bucks bench, which struggled throughout last season.

If the Bucks are able to sign their own free agents in Miles Plumlee and Jerryd Bayless, and with the additions of 2016 draft picks Thon Maker and Malcolm Brogdon, they would have three available roster spots to use.

Veteran Steve Novak, acquired by the Bucks late in the season, is also a free agent.
